bturner13 Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Welcome to BB, f/w68!I don't believe there are any special events in Vegas during your stay. Having said that you should be able to get the Venetian on the cheap a week to 10 days before arrival for $79-$99. Also remember, there are no real guarantees with Priceline. But that is the fun and adventure in bidding on Priceline. I have saved between 40-60%/nite off the best internet rate for my family and friends each time I have made bids.Good luck and keep us posted on how things turn out! :) Link to comment
fenway68 Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 will do...79 (99 too) would be great, worth the doubling of the gold coast rate to stay on the strip and at the venetian! you guys seem to have it "down" here...!!aint the internet awesome!f/w68 Link to comment
billyblaze Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 I got the Venitian for $99.00 a night from priceline for 04/11-04/14/04 so I think it is a safe bet you can get the first two nights of your stay there off priceline right now for $99.00 or less. The last night of your trip may be tough to get. If your dates are set, try & get all your nights now. Nothing to lose. If you don't get it, you can always try & get the first two nights & try for your last night later keeping you back up hotel in case it never becomes available. Link to comment
bturner13 Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 This is super to see that someone is get the Venetian for $99/nite this far in advance! Yes, I agree! So for bidding now to test the waters! Billyblaze, your bidding suggestion is the way to go! :) Link to comment
bbbb Posted March 15, 2004 Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 Looks like 4/14 is your problem night with a higher rate then the other nights.you might be able to get the V right now for $99 on the frist two nights but I think it will take $109,its $122 today on hotwire. Link to comment
fenway68 Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2004 now...what if i want to try a 4*..from what i understand h/w and p-line include what are truly off-strip properties in their "strip-search"...any thoughts....???thanks so far, will def. try venetian tho in a couple of daysf/w68 Link to comment
bbbb Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Yep if you bid *4 you could end up at the westin or the rio. (I think the rio is in the strip area now).I have stayed at both and the westin is only a two block walk to the strip and the rio has a free shuttle to Harrahs on the strip.Westin is nice but it dont have that big casino felling.

fenway68 Posted March 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 what price range would you bid for the 4* strip hotels...the person i am travelling with is hesitant on spending 99/nite, even tho it is a good deal for venetian...(wants to spend money on the tables...no doubt since little time to actually be spent in the room...) anyone know all the current 4* strip..i will check the posted list...thanks again..f/w68 Link to comment
bturner13 Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Perhaps TravelAxe.com is more suited to your needs. I've had very good luck with TravelAxe for the Vegas area. Priceline and Hotwire are not always the best deal with it comes to Vegas. Enjoy the tables! :) Link to comment
bbbb Posted March 17, 2004 Report Share Posted March 17, 2004 Click on nevada and then go to nevada hotel lists. Link to comment
